Well, you don't have to use the any-any patch. You can simply use the km_vmware package that came with SuSE 9.0. However, as I pointed out in my post to a similar thread a couple of weeks ago, you may not want to use the vmnet.o module that gets compiled from the km_vmware source. On the other hand you may have to use the vmmon.o module that originates from it rather than the one you get from the vmware distribution. It is quite confusing, especially if you don't regularly compile your own kernel and just expect it to work as shipped. Cheers, Alex.
